Hello World! Welcome Friends! The right balance of herbs and spices elevate our most precious dishes to superstar status. How often have you found your spice cabinet reduced to a disorganized mess of overcrowded spices? How much time have you lost looking for the garlic, the paprika, the rosemary?
In some cases, certain spices like turmeric, cumin, paprika and chilli powder can attract unwanted pests like termites into your spice cabinet. Call a termite exterminator immediately if you see any sign of pest of habitation and routinely throw out old spices. Prepare to revamp your spice cabinet instantly with these handy tricks and organization ideas:
Mini Mason Jars
A pack of twenty-five mini mason jars will run you USD 25 on Amazon, although your local stores might run a better price. They are perfectly sized for creating a uniform, easily organized display that eradicates the hassle of different-sized spice bottles. Mini mason jars also make an incredibly unique, rustic kitchen aesthetic that will fit well with any kitchen design. Put them out on the counter or store them away in a clean, cool space.

Kitchen Drawer Organizer
If your cabinets are loaded with other necessary kitchenware, or your space is limited, consider opting for an empty kitchen drawer. This keeps spices at eye level, limiting the hassle of always trying to find the right spice. Keep each label turned up, and always make sure the cap is on correctly to avoid the risk of unnecessary spills (and unnecessary critters or pests attracted to your spices). Many options are available to choose from in drawer spice organizers, at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Target.

Cabinet Caddy
This might have been a trendy adulting gifting idea a few years ago, but a rotating spice caddy will never go out of style. It’s a practical decoration in the kitchen, it rotates, it is complete with all of your necessary spices, and it ranges between USD 20 to USD 45 on sites like Wayfair. If you want to avoid clutter on the countertop, consider several cabinet caddy options in the cabinet: the rotating kind, the slide-out double spice rack, and the over-the-door spice rack organizer. There are many DIY options in this department, including building your own levelled spice rack that fits your personal needs and space dimensions.

Wall Mounted Spice Rack
The wall-mounted spice rack is a game-changer for the people with virtually no additional space or room in their kitchens. There is a chance that if you have no counter space, drawer space or cabinet space (but you love to cook), that you might have some wall space. If you have a sliver of exposed wall, a two-tiered wall-mounted spice rack might perfectly fit your needs.

Magnetic Spice Jars
If you don’t have the wall space for a full spice rack, you might have the room for a magnet bar or two. Magnetic spice jar organizers are a unique, creative and incredibly fresh take on storing your spices. Like the mini mason jars, this requires buying the necessary pieces to store, design and label, but it is a practical solution that creates an enigmatic design flare. There is also a DIY option that might be fun to make.
The name of the game is decluttering, renovation and organization. Determine your needs, find out where you can allocate more space and never again worry about a cluttered spice space! I have offered you a place to begin thinking about how you can spice things up and keep your kitchen clean and orderly.
